TCS to announce Q4 results today
Tata Group owned TCS is set to announce its results for the fourth quarter ended March 2017 (Q4FY17), and full financial year 2016-17 (FY17) numbers today.
ICICI Securities expect EBIT margins to be flattish for TCS, led by currency headwind offset by operational efficiency. We would be monitoring how IT companies manage margins in the wake of increased US local hiring amid maintaining utilisation.
US dollar revenues may grow 1.2% q-o-q to $4,439.6 million, led by BSFI and some uptick in retail vertical. Constant currency may grow around 1.5% q-o-q while rupee revenues may decline 0.1% to Rs 29,701 crore. EBIT margins may remain unchanged q-o-q to 26% owing to operational efficiency offset by currency headwind. FY18E outlook and margin guidance, IT budget spend pattern, traction in digital business and attrition are among the key things to watch out for, the brokerage firm said in a report.
